http://www.marygrove.edu/future-students/financial-services/tuition-a-fees/116-campus/campus/860-marygrove-team-wins-relay-for-life-detroits-silver-medal.htmlOn Saturday, June 19, Marygrove College hosted the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life Detroit. Symbolic of her open arms, the Our Lady of Marygrove statue welcomed the community of supporters into Marygrove’s gates to transform the lawn of the campus into a camp of organizations and teams. Over 40 teams and 700 participants celebrated 120 survivors and remembered the lives of 800 lost loved ones by pledging 24 hours of their time walking for a cure. The amount raised three days prior to the walk was over $45,000, which grew to $70,000 by the afternoon of the relay and finally totaled over $90,000 at the end of the event! The Detroit Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. raised the most, coming in at $15,143.

Unsurpassed beauty. Stirring architecture. Sanctuary for the soul. Welcome to the Marygrove campus. When you are here, you are surrounded by tradition — and limitless possibilities.

See all that Marygrove offers. Try a virtual tour or browse our photo gallery.

Be inspired. Located on 53 peaceful acres in the heart of one of America’s most vibrant cities, Marygrove is an awe-inspiring location to learn, reflect, ask questions, and grow.

Be wowed. Architectural masterpieces rise gracefully across the Marygrove campus. Our two crown jewels, the Liberal Arts Building and Madame Cadillac Hall, both completed in 1927, are built of Bedford stone in a Tudor Gothic style.

Be challenged. The Marygrove campus is a diverse melting pot of ideas and cultures. You will meet people who challenge you in every way, and you will grow in every way because of it.

Be active. Shoot hoops, dig a volleyball, dive for a tennis ball, get moving with an aerobics class — it’s all possible at the gym, located on the lower level of the Madame Cadillac Building. Or head over to the fitness center, located right next to the gym, where you can sweat it out on an exercise bike or pump some iron. Want even more options? Check out the Northwest Activities Center, located just a few miles from campus, where you can literally do it all.

THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE MARYGROVE.

Spiritual. Elegant. Miraculous. Peaceful. Strolling Marygrove’s beautiful campus is like stepping into a masterpiece painting. In the heart of Detroit, it’s a place that will stir your soul.

[widgetkit id=5]

Often called Detroit’s most elegant place to learn, Marygrove is located on 53 beautifully wooded acres in northwest Detroit. The park-like campus is centered by four very spacious buildings. Two main structures, both completed in 1927, are the Liberal Arts Building and Madame Cadillac Hall.

Built of Bedford stone in a Tudor Gothic architectural style, both buildings are distinguished by the quality of their materials, including Carrera and Tavernelle Rose marble, English oak paneling, stained and leaded glass windows, terra cotta fireplaces, and bronze grillwork. From the maple and oak hardwood floors to the slate roofs, the buildings are crafted with a quality of material and attention to detail that can never be replicated. In many ways, both buildings represent Marygrove at its best: they express a philosophy of education that reveres excellence and honors the values that endure.
